In 2007, Las Vegas, known as the casino, hosted the All-Star Weekend, and it was the first time that the NBA held an All-Star Weekend event in a city without an NBA team!

It is not completely unreasonable that this all-star will be called the most luxurious all-star lineup in the 21st century!

Check out the all-star lineup of East and West!

On the West side, the starting lineup: Spurs big man Duncan, Wolves King Garnett, Mavericks big man Nowitzki, and the last two guard positions are Maddie and Kobe Bryant!

Although Yao Ming is the king of the Western Ticket, he cannot participate in the All-Star Game due to injury!

With three of the top five all-time super power forwards, plus two of the four quarterbacks, this All-Star starting lineup in the West is terrifying!

In addition to the luxurious starting lineup, the bench lineup in the west is also full of bigwigs from all sides!

Jazz big man Boozer, Averson Avertson, Suns' Nash, Stoudemire and Marion, French sports car Parker.

And the all-star lineup on the eastern side, in terms of luxury, is definitely difficult to compete with the west!

The starting lineup in the East: O'Neal, LeBron James, Lee Unity, Wade and General Arenas......

The lineup on the eastern side is obviously slightly weaker than that in the west, O'Neal is no longer in peak condition now, and James, Wade, and Lee Unity can only be regarded as newcomers, they have not been in the league for a few years, as for Arenas, the state is unstable, and he belongs to the Nerve Knife type of star......

In terms of bench lineups, the bench lineup in the East, Raptors big man Chris Bosh, Nets golden backcourt Carter and Kidd, Pistons golden backcourt Billups and Mask Man Hamilton, Magic big man Monster Howard and Pacers star O'Neal Jr!

The stars are gathered and shining, and this year's All-Stars are enough to go down in history with this lineup alone!

And Li Tuanjie is a new melon egg, breaking into the strongest all-star lineup in the history of the stars, and he is still a starter, which directly raises Li Tuanjie's value a lot!

Nike's founder Phil Knight was so anxious to prevent the signing of the contract with Li Tuanjie, what he was most afraid of was that Li Tuanjie would be abandoned by the NBA because of the ban!

Judging from the current situation, Li Tuanjie seems to be even worse, not only breaking into the NBA as a new melon egg, but also as a starter, which can be called a miracle!

For a while, Nike regained confidence in Li Tuanjie, and all kinds of advertisements were overwhelming, and I was afraid that others would not know that Li Tuanjie was a signed star of their company!

In addition to all kinds of overwhelming advertising, Li Tuanjie's exclusive sneakers are also in full swing of development, I believe that it won't be long before Li Tuanjie can have a pair of his own exclusive sneakers!

In the early stage of the All-Star Game, Li Tuanjie also received a call from Phil Knight, which must have congratulated Li Tuanjie on becoming an All-Star starter, and also proposed those additional terms when he signed the contract!

You must know that if Li Tuanjie makes it to the All-Star, there will be a bonus, and if Li Tuanjie becomes the starter, this bonus will be doubled again!

Phil-Knight called Li Tuanjie, of course, the purpose was not to cheat, on the contrary, he felt that it was very worthwhile to spend the millions of prizes!

An All-Star starter illustrates how popular a player is, and what does popularity bring? Bring benefits! After Nike develops Li Tuanjie's exclusive sneakers, it will definitely be able to earn back a few or even dozens of millions of dollars!

Li Tuanjie's current start, whether it is personal data or popularity, looks stronger than the pride of the sky James rookie season, Phil Knight regretted a little, why didn't he sign a long-term contract with Li Tuanjie in the first place, such as signing a contract for more than ten years or a lifetime contract!

Judging from the current situation, after the six-year contract between Li Tuanjie and Nike is executed, Li Tuanjie definitely has the hope of becoming the first person in the alliance.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that Li Tuanjie has not yet risen completely, Phil Knight decided to make a good friend of Li Tuanjie first, and when Li Tuanjie renews his contract in the future, he may save some money by virtue of his friendship with Li Tuanjie......

……

Saturday, February 15, Las Vegas!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Rookie Challenge officially started!

As is customary, the two teams select players from the current rookie and the previous rookie respectively to form two teams to play against each other!

There's no doubt that sophomores who have been playing in the league for a year will be stronger, and in the Rookie Challenge, sophomores have beaten rookies for five years in a row!

This year's Rookie Challenge features a strong second-year roster of Chris Paul, Bogut, Montanelles, Bynum, David Lee, and Granger, all of whom will be the mainstays of the league in the future!

On the other hand, the first-year team is not weak at all, All-Star starter Li Tuanjie took the other two rookies of the Bucks, Rondo and Millsap, to participate in this rookie challenge!

In addition to the Bucks' rookie triumvirate, the rookie team also has Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay, champion Bagnani, and Allridge Aldridge!

Originally, fans didn't pay much attention to the Rookie Challenge, but this Rookie Challenge is different, attracting the fierce attention of many fans!

In addition to the addition of Li Tuanjie, an All-Star starter, fans are more concerned about whether the rookie team can break the curse of not beating the sophomore team for five consecutive years!

Judging from the lineups of both sides, the rookie team is actually stronger on paper than the sophomore team!

But these are unknowns, and the real game still depends on the on-the-spot performance!

On the contrary, everyone on the rookie team is full of confidence, and everyone is very confident that they can beat the sophomore team!

This is not to say that rookie newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but they do have this strength!

More than half of the current players on the rookie team have basically mixed up the starting positions in their respective teams, which is a bit higher than the sophomore team!

For example, Li Tuanjie, Rondo, Millsap, Rudy Gay, and Brandon Roy have all initially shown their star images, and they are known as the five tigers of the 07th draft!

When the game started, the starting lineup of the first grade was directly the 07 draft five tigers, and there was no suspense about this!

The starting lineup for the sophomore team is Bogut, David Lee, Hyde, Granger and Deron Williams! Chris Paul didn't make it to the starting lineup......
